This was pointed out to our esteemed county councillors at the time, backed up with a complete data-based analysis. Two of our Sunbury county representatives scoffed at residents’ objections at the Surrey CC meeting where they pretended to deliberate on this issue – it had, of course, been decided upon some time before. One of them even shouted at us as we left the meeting: “Scaremongering! Where did you get all that inaccurate data?” The data came, of course, from the Council’s own report on this issue, which, needless to say, neither of them had bothered to read.

A piece of Green Belt lost to implement a plan which they simply had not thought through.
